  1. Re:It's Still Not America's Army on Review: Battlefield 2 · · Score: 1

    ..and thats why americas army isn't very popular.

    If realism means crawling about prone in the dirt for 500m before you can even think about getting a kill, then people don't want realism. duh.

  2. Re:If the terrorists want to kill you at 30k feet. on Flying the Wiretapped Skies · · Score: 1

    "What is tapping WiFi really going to give someone?"

    Ill bite. An innocent(s) carrying a bomb(s) inside their company laptop. Lets say i work for an IT support provider for a large company. I call these guys up who are flying overseas next week, need to swap out their laptops for whatever reason. I preconfig the laptop to phone home periodically...plant a bomb in it... you can guess the rest. i think this is a reasonable request for $SECURITYCO to make... whether I trust the FBI or not is another matter.

  3. you have to wear the suits. on Tron Lightcycles, in Real Life · · Score: 5, Funny

    They are missing a VERY important part of Tron. You HAVE to wear the suits!

  4. has noone here actually used this yet? on Project Gizmo Challenges Skype · · Score: 3, Informative

    I often use skype, but in the quest for a SIP# along with my skype experience, I tried this yesterday.

    I is a fairly hopeless alternative to skype, at least for the time being. Gizmo gives you "free" minutes of which you can use to test the system, but, try as I might, I was unable to make a call outside of the US, as 001, the country code for the US was prefixed onto any number I entered in.

    Add the random shutdowns when editing certain options (of which there are a distinct lack of) and odd, finicky menus which stay open and dont have a close button, and you have yourself Gizmo.

    Having said that, if they can sort those problems out then they will be onto a winner. It is certainly far easier setup than any other SIP/softphone system Ive used.
